Practice Management
The practice manager is involved in managing all of the business aspects of the practice such as making sure that the right systems are in place to provide a high quality of patient care, human resources, finance, patient safety, premises and equipment and information technology. The practice manager supports the GPs and other medical professionals with delivering patient services and also helps to develop extended services to enhance patient care.
Administration
The secretaries and administration staff support the healthcare team with all aspects of administration within the Practice.
Reception
Receptionists provide an important link for patients with the practice and are your initial contact point for general enquiries. They can provide basic information on services and results and direct you to the right person, depending on your health issue or query. Receptionists make most of the patient appointments with the GPs and nurses. They also perform other important tasks such as issuing repeat prescriptions and dealing with prescription enquiries and maintaining accurate patient records.
Community Midwives
The midwife attached to our Practice is one of the local team of midwives who works with the doctors to guide and provide pregnancy advice and monitoring. Clinics are held twice weekly at the Practice. Please note that, at your first antenatal appointment (8-10weeks pregnant) the midwife will need to see you on your own for the first 30 minutes, to discuss issues of a personal nature.
To contact a midwife, please ring the midwifery office at Babington Hospital on 01773 525085.
Community Nurses
The Heanor Community Nurses visit the practice every day, working closely with the practice and can be contacted through reception if you need them. They are primarily available to give nursing care to patients in their homes, who are unable to attend the surgery.
Health Visitors
A health visitor is a registered nurse who has received training particularly related to babies, children and pregnant women. Their role is to provide families with children under five years old with support and advice around the general aspects of mental, physical and social wellbeing.
